Mother determined to find missing daughter, says “we just want her home safely”

[JR] began searching for daughter, a mother of four, on December 7 when she learned that she had been missing for a week. Brittany’s paternal grandmother was the last person to see her, which was on November 30.

“She went to her grandmother’s. She did laundry,”[JR] said. “She was with another gentleman. We don’t know who it was. The grandma described him as blonde hair, short, stocky and he had sideburns.”

[JR] gave this information to the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Office and began her own investigation. She learned from Michigan State Police that an accident had happened on Fawn River Road, where authorities found Brittany’s boyfriend’s car on the side of the road. [JR] checked the site out herself.

“It looks like the car could’ve been moved or backed up,” [JR] said. “But it looks like maybe there was some kind of struggle or she [was] running from something or somebody.”

St. Joseph mother not giving up hope, continues search for missing daughter
The above is region-blocked. Here are the important bits:

She went off the road down Fawn River after she did laundry at grandmother’s house one night, and she went around a curb and the car went off the road. Nobody has seen her since,” says Rolfe.
Right after the accident, residents living along Fawn River Road say they saw Shank asking for help.

“She went to a couple houses and knocked on the doors. [She] knocked on one door, was seen at the window at another house, that’s the last time anybody has seen her,” said Rolfe.

Rolfe tells FOX 17 one resident tried to help, but couldn’t get cell service to call 9-1-1, and said Shank disappeared before they could try again.

...

Friends of Shank also have given statements about a blue Crown Victoria car and a questionable boyfriend.


The poster has also been updated to additionally state she had no shoes or coat and was given an army green colored coat by a witness.
 
Her tattoos as described in the missing poster suggests she has children

This is her Twitter ... bio says 4 kids and happily married - though that bio is probably not current.

These are her Facebooks - the first of which has photos of 4 different children ...

Brittany Wallace

This is her older one that has a shared name with her husband at the time
Brittany Justin Persing

From those social media you can gather that Brittany Nicole Shank had other names Brittany Nicole Wallace and Brittany Nicole Persing.

Is she on probation?

I am guessing she doesn't have custody of the kids since the news stories don't make mention of them.
 
She has had well over a dozen serious vehicular infractions (including those involving alcohol) to where her license was revoked. (www.searchquarry.com). I'm concerned her pattern of reckless driving may have led to her going off the road somewhere.
Hello! I checked this out and you are referencing a different woman. The woman's record you found is a woman with the same name who is 28 years old and lives in PA. Totally different person.

Thank you for calling this out. I ran it again and the database is only supposed to query her state of residence but pulled up someone by the exact same name in PA. I wish they'd give a date of birth on these missing person reports.

It's all good! I'm pretty sure her birthday is 1/1/1995.
 
There is a lot of info on the case, including interviews with the Mother on Youtube on the True crime and Gossip channel. There was a search and recovery today. They are still looking for Brittany and they even have the police helping now. I was late coming into this case, but I know that there are many that are interested in it and thought that I would share that. Here is a link to one of video's regarding a search and other info.
